Beskrivelse
First published in 1908, "Scouting for Boys" is the seminal work on scouting by British Army officer and founder of the worldwide scouting movement, Robert Baden-Powell. Originally written as a manual for self-instruction, "Scouting for Boys" details many important scouting skills including scoutcraft, tracking, woodcraft, camping, and first-aid. Baden-Powell's work is a rework of his earlier "Aids to Scouting", published in 1899, and borrows many ideas from Ernest Thompson Seton's "The Birch Bark Roll of the Woodcraft Indians", published in 1906. "Scouting for Boys" includes numerous tales that can be told around the campfire, as well as many of Baden-Powell's personal anecdotes, and opinions on proper moral character of boy scouts. While some of the information in this work may seem outdated and some of the moralizing many seem antiquated to modern readers, "Scouting for Boys" remains an important historical work in the scouting movement. Having sold millions of copies since its first publication, the impact Baden-Powell's "Scouting for Boys" as well as his personal advocacy for the scouting movement cannot be overstated. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper.
